Am I going insane or is my 2SS massively uncomfortable? - Page 10

Thanks I will have them check that.

Mine rides fine. It isn't a 74 Caddy but I took it on a trip a day trip to AC, 450 mile round trip, and I had no issues.

I can barely find any information on the NEBULA and the others don't state they are runflats.

I am taking this to a independent shop to have it looked at. It is incredibly frustrating driving this car. I have probably read all that has been posted on tires and can't be convinced it is only that.

Good luck having a open coffee or bottle or can until you hit highway speeds. The only place it drives ok.

They shop is looking at it on Thursday. The car is under warranty so I am not really concerned with what may or may not be found. If nothing if found and this is "just they way it drives" I will sell it. Drives like crap and I will not keep it.

My 1968 and 1971 drive like a dream compared to this...

It is possible that one or more of your struts/shocks are bad. The left front strut on mine was sticking when I got it at around 46K miles. Made it a little stiffer for sure.

This is why I said they should really consider just driving another SS or SS 1LE. Being able to compare issues with a similar car would go a LONG way to definitely eliminating their issue.

Having mismatched and non-brand tires on the car (which is what those probably are), along with potentially out of balance wheels, and given that those tires aren't even a name brand, I'd question about other things too now..

This is not normal at all, with proper tires and alignment it should drive like a very decent car. Tour mode makes you only hear bumps but not feel them, sport is stiffer, then in track mode you can actually sense them from the seat.

I took several road trips with my wife, even kids, they never mentioned any ride issues. In fact, a few months ago I had another member with his wife take a ride in my car, because they were worried about the crappy ride they got on a dealership test car, they went back home happy and relieved.

All in all you shouldn't give up or in, "just the way it drives" is bullshit, especially on an MRC car.

How can this be nothing but comphy?

KB412 · 11-07-2023, 09:31 PM

It’s been awhile since I had my 4th gen, I modded the suspension quite a bit to make it handle. That being said, this 1LE feels likes a Cadillac compared to that. This chasis is amazing and I’m a huge dude.

I am not going to claim it is the car's only issue, but do not underestimate the ability of the wrong tires to mess a car up. Those tire brands you mention are really off brand, I mean really off brand. I'd like to know where they are really made and who made the tooling.

cdb95z28 · 11-08-2023, 06:20 PM

Shit tires probably made in China.
I run my MagRide in Track Mode on my SS 1LE and it is fine. Ride comfort is subjective but jeez.

CHASLT1 · 11-08-2023, 06:37 PM

My 2021 LT1 seemed more comfy than my C6's. The C7 i have now is fine.

zedts1986 · 11-09-2023, 07:35 AM

I despise runflat tires. First thing I did with mine was get them off and replace them with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06s, all-seasons. This thing is my daily driver, winter included. The change in comfort level is astounding.

That said, there was already a huge difference in my 2024 2SS compared to my 2019 2.0T. The magnetic ride control swallows up the pot hole patches and expansion joints on my way to work very nicely, when in touring. My wife couldnt stand the ride in the 2.0T...she loves the 2SS.

TooleyOnDeck · 11-09-2023, 08:36 AM

I daily my 1LE, I know ride comfort is subjective but in Tour mode mine is as smooth as you could ask for in a M6 sports car.

d2cheer · 11-10-2023, 07:57 AM

The struts are shot and collapsed.

I was told specifically all these things were checked.

There are also bigger issues that I am consulting an attorney about.

The dealership willfully let us drive away with a car that was not safe.

So no not insane I guess. All legitimate concerns I had.

More to come someday.

WOW - that would certainly explain a lot of things, and it certainly sounds like someone slapped lipstick on a pig to sell it. Mismatched off brand tires, shot struts, yeah... I'd be talking with an attorney.

Really sounds like the issue isn't the car but the shoddy dealer/maintenance on the vehicle.
